Dinas Farm Holidays

Dinas Farm until the end of the 1960's belonged to Lord Snowdon's family and is now a family run dairy farm with a 150 strong Holstein-Friesian herd. Guests are offered an unique insight into farm life, from observing at milking times to watching calves being born in paddocks near the farmhouse. 

The farm is situated three miles south of the Royal town of Caernarfon in the heart of beautiful Snowdonia providing an excellent base for touring the area. The nearest beach is at Dinas Dinlle, 4 miles away and the village of Llanberis and the start of the Snowdon train is approx. 9 miles. Within easy walking distance from the farmhouse is the Dinas station of the Welsh Highland Railway which runs to Caernarfon (northwards) and to Waunfawr (southwards). The local shop and post office is 1 mile at the village of Bontnewydd and the local pub 'The Mount Pleasant' is within walking distance from the farm at Dinas. 

The farmhouse itself is situated a few hundred yards from the actual farm and is surrounded by an enclosed, private garden and, thus, providing a safe area for children to play. Excellent access with concrete drive and ample parking space. We are open from March until end of October. Non smokers only please, and we very much regret that we are unable to accept pets.
